My two cats look forward to their snacks every evening. Giving snacks add some variety to your cat’s diet but they should not be substituted for regular cat food. Some snacks don’t contain the nutrients that are necessary in your cat’s diet. Here’s my recommendation on giving snacks. Make sure that your cat is eating his regular food during the day. I give my cats 1/2 can of wet food and a handful of dry cat food every morning. Since cats are “nibblers,” I leave their food out all day. About 7:00pm every evening, I give them a few snacks each. Make sure that you don’t give them too many snacks as I sometimes do. My cats are spoiled and I sometimes give in to their whining.  A few snack pieces are a fine each evening. Don’t worry if you forget, your cat will remind you that it’s snack time!

Remember, your  pets count!
